Good morning from Georgia USA! I have a Jeep Sahara that only has 16000 miles and it's plagued with electronic issues. Radio changes channels constantly.......... Clock wants reset constantly............ Air and heat controls run wild. Dealer says it's delamination of the face plate on the radio........They also say it's common on Jeeps and they are well aware of it but you're on your own to fix it. $2,000 to fix what should be a recall.......... After 16,000 miles............. JUST SAY NO TO ANY MORE JEEPS!

@CheaperJeeperTV 8 месяцев назад

Hello Georgia USA! Sorry to hear of the many problems you are experiencing with your Jeep.

@philfortner1805 8 месяцев назад

The touch screen is likely broken due to the touch screen window failing. Had this on a GM, which is common, replaced it myself for $120 and some major dash disassembly and it works perfectly. Bought a 3rd party part too since the OEM was shit.

@briannelson1924 4 месяца назад

Well the radio is a dodge problem. Affects dodge across the board on certain years. The delaminating isn’t from a mileage but a time frame. So if you only have 16k it’s under warranty unless you hardly drive it then the low mileage doesn’t change anything it’s several years old.

Dino, I've watched 1000's of videos created by 100's of RU-vid channels. Fancy cinematography is nice, but documented, usable information (as in your video and the links) is priceless. You provided truly useful information both in the video and by posting the links to Recalls and TSBs. Based on the links I will be saving over $1000.00 dollars by having my steering box replaced before the warranty expires. For that reason, you are my first subscribed channel ever. Now I'm off to look for a cool new bumper with the money I saved. Anyway, well done!

@gilbertferguson1685 Год назад

Excellent review. As a new Wrangler owner, I appreciate the information you have provided. So far I am pleased with our Jeep, and recently returned from a 1400 mile trip where it ran great and returned 22 mpg driving mostly on interstate. The only negative has been a severe case of steering wheel shake, or death wobble, that we first experienced when hitting a rough spot in the road on a very cold day this winter. I had it in for an oil change at 6000 miles and the dealership made some adjustments, and it has done much better over rough spots, but still shakes a little sometimes. I know the solid front axle is part of the problem. Thanks again for the excellent input.

@CheaperJeeperTV Год назад

Hey Gilbert, Thanks for the feedback on the video. The shouldn’t be any shake at all. Make sure the dealer covers the repair under warranty completely. There shouldn’t be any wiggle. Mine tracked fairly well but I never had any death wobble and nor should anyone who bought a JL. Good luck. Cheers

@wandering_armadillo Год назад

Great stuff! I can't learn enough about my new (to me) 2019 JL and your channel is one of the best! As for the steering box the first owner did not have the upgrade done, but I noticed the issue right away. I kicked up a stink with the (non Jeep) dealership I bought it from within 30 days, saying it is a safety issue when travelling on the freeway on warmer days (the "slack" feel is accentuated) and they will help pay for it. I was quoted around $1600-1700 for parts and labour.

@CheaperJeeperTV Год назад

Thanks for the feedback on the channel. I’m happy for you that you’re enjoying your new to you Jeep. Good idea to get the steering box fixed. Is it beyond way now? Enjoy. Cheers

@wandering_armadillo Год назад

@@CheaperJeeperTV Yes it was a month beyond warranty. Initially Chrysler Canada were considering some goodwill financial help with expenses, but through my dealer I heard it was more for original owners. When you contemplated doing yours did you just back off when you were told you were no longer under warranty or did you call Chrysler Canada (Customer Care) and lodge a case? Especially since you are the original owner? I'm not the type of person to kick up a fuss in life but on my 2DR, with a shorter wheelbase and inherent twitchiness it was important to push for it. I take it in on Monday! Ciao!

@CheaperJeeperTV Год назад

@@wandering_armadillo I put a lot of kms on my Jeep. On both my steering box, and the corrosion on my Jeep, once I was past warranty kms, they did absolutely nothing to make things right. I was very disappointed by how I was treated by FCA. :-( I'm sure you'll get things sorted and enjoy your Jeep a ton!!!

@marcin4497 2 года назад

Great video, very informative for existing owners and someones that`s looking to buy a Jeep. Regarding the fuel efficiency, I travel to Sauble Beach quite often especially in the summer. For my recent trip I decided to take my Toyota Camery 4 cylinder to save on gas and for comparison. The savings amounted to $10-15 and I`d prefer to drive the Jeep anytime, the camery is a great car. City driving might be different. This has been the case when I was purchasing my first car V6 Camaro vs Mazda Protege (friend was panicking about fuel prices), early 2000s. After few years when I sold the camaro and got a civic, it wasn`t the same I might have saved on gas but the joy of driving was gone. Jeep filled the void and more as I can enjoy it all year round, love 4x4. Cheers

@CheaperJeeperTV 2 года назад

Hey Marcin, I totally agree. Enjoy the Jeep! Cheers.

@LoneStarSwirl Год назад

I babied my 3.6 Pentastar V6 by having all scheduled maintenance done early and it still crapped out on me at 133K miles. Every auto mechanic I took it to said the same thing...this engine is the weakness...they are not made to last much past 100K miles.

@CheaperJeeperTV Год назад

Hey LoneStarSwirl, Sorry to hear about that. I have 190,000 kms on mine and it's running like new. I've read online that it's a great engine. FCA has it in a ton of vehicles, so it makes sense that a lot of mechanics would have come across it. What did you end up doing? Installing another one?

@TheDdacosta 2 года назад

Excellent video! I have a 2019 JLU Sahara. Love it! The paint issue in all the spots you mentioned is a problem and know issue. The dealer sent out mine and was approved but will take 2 weeks and won’t provide a loaner so haven’t done it yet. They told me they had one customer who had it painted 5 times and still comes back. Something to do with aluminum reacting with steel especially in the hinges.

@CheaperJeeperTV 2 года назад

Hey Darrell, The leading edges of the doors, and the hood just have aluminum in those areas as far as I am aware, so I don't see how it can be attributed to galvanic corrosion in those areas. There is a link in the description section of the video that addresses the class action law suit launched in the states regarding this issue, if interested. Cheers.

@TheDdacosta 2 года назад

@@CheaperJeeperTV Correct, the hinges are metal on the aluminum doors. All the body panels are aluminum. They don’t have an explanation for the panels just the hinges. I agree with you 100%. I’m in Ontario Canada so not sure if there is anything here. I was going to buy a 2 dr around 2001 and didn’t because there was rust on all the hinges back then on a 2-3 year old Jeep. I have 43k on mine and that’s the paint is the only thing I have noticed. Is there anything I should have the dealer look at before the warranty is up? Thank you

@CheaperJeeperTV 2 года назад

@@TheDdacosta Darrel, I believe on the JL, the hinges are aluminum. The bolt passing through the aluminum hinges and body panels are steel. Perhaps they're coated? Anyway, before your warranty is up, I'd be checking over every square inch of the Jeeps aluminum panels, and have them fixed. I chose to do mine immediately, so that if there was ANY reoccurrence, WHICH THERE WAS, it would get repaired again while I still have the warranty. Good luck.

@garyvanmeter4911 Год назад

@@CheaperJeeperTV In the airplane world it is a big no no to have aluminum touching steel, even if you paint both surfaces. Properly plated bolts are OK. Otherwise galvanic corrosion does and will happen.

@CheaperJeeperTV Год назад

@@garyvanmeter4911 Thanks. I'm thinking that along door, hood, fender and tailgate edges, where there aren't bolt like at the hinges, it may be a result of poor prep or contamination of the aluminum, but I don't really know.

I'm just in the process of picking up a 2024 JLU, and I'm quite concerned about the corrosion...I was well aware enough of this problem, so if it's still a problem on 2024 models, I have only myself to blame...Caveat Emptor...(The fix is easy enough...(Using a primer like Zinc-Chromate), prior to applying the paint. BTW, I've installed the "Truck-Lite" 7 Inch Round Heated LED Headlight on my 2006 Jeep TJ, and they're awesome!

@theblueberryBULLET Месяц назад

Love the looks and the off road capability…but electrical gremlins, rusting parts, and rusting aluminum hinges and hood on my 2020 with 32k km had me move on before more problems were going to show up after warranty on my Jeep unfortunately. Also, I found everything under the hood is hard to access, including the aux battery that went out on mine as well.

@CheaperJeeperTV Месяц назад

I can completely understand your decision, because as the corrosion issues surface for the third time on mine, I moved on as well. Only to get a 2024 Rubicon!🤷🏻‍♂️ I have made a couple videos of it since I bought it feel free to check them out. The new Toyota 4Runner does seem pretty nice.

@theblueberryBULLET Месяц назад

Mine was a custom ordered Rubicon, I loved it dearly, and wanted it to last! But I also heard/read that the fixes for the rust didnt last 😔. The timing worked for me to grab a new 4th gen Tacoma Offroad Premium…a risk for sure, but everything I researched about it, including a look over by the ‘car care nut’ made me feel confident…gas only and it’s getting better mileage already and there’s tons of room under the hood, so the 4runner would probably be the same. Thanks for your videos! I’ll check then out.

@CheaperJeeperTV Месяц назад

Yeah I babied my 2018 and did all the maintenance myself to make it last too. The recurring corrosion issue was too much. I’m hoping by 2024 they worked things out. Im thrilled with it so far. I’m glad to hear you’re happy with your new rig. Cheers.

I reason for window switches on the dash is to reduce the size of plug and wiring harness that goes into the drivers door in particular. Especially in colder climates the fewer wires that have to go into the doors the better.

Great presentation. My JL is 3 1/2 years with 56,000 miles. Similar electric gremlins like you experienced. My outside mirror on the passenger side won't go up or down, only side to side. Tried a new mirror and switch and returned them as it did not fix it. The window switch for the drivers window is terribly worn. The proximity door handle stopped working. A new handle fixed that. for about $100. I think Jeep needs to repair the corrosion issues even if out of warrantee. I do my own service, but even if I took it to my dealer, they don't charge as much as they do in Canada.

Jeep did well in going from the JK to the JL. There are some items which were not so great: • License plate mounting location moved to bumper! • D-ring style door latch release handle - not good compared to the large lever style on the JK which are very easy to use even with heavy winter mits on!! • Based on all the issues reported by owners, you'd think this is the first time FCA/Stellantis has made this vehicle! Build quality is just marginal at best. Too many minor glitches for a modern vehicle! • Interior lighting - did Jeep remove the lights under the rearview mirror that's on the JK? And this is on the LED light group which is e tra cost I believe!!! • All these design issues just means the designers weren't thinking this throughly and neither did the engineering manager who approved the design!!!

When you fill it up, you put in as much as it will take, then there's a procedure to shift through the gears to move the fluid and heat up the transmission (The JL has a temperature gauge to monitor it). Then you top it off and put everything back together. It's not difficult, and other than a lack of a dipstick it's not really any different than most other automatics.

@CheaperJeeperTV Год назад

Thank you. I am aware of that procedure after doing a bit of research. My question is can you leave it too long before having to do the service? For example I have already 180,000 km. Is that too late to service it? Will that cause problems now?

@charlessanchez3148 Год назад

Very good review. This video is the first video that I have watched on your channel. If you have not done the review on changing the transmission fluid, and you will eventually get to it, I would like for you to comment on the condition of the fluid and on the presence of metal shavings, and your opinion on whether the transmission fluid did need to be changed.

@CheaperJeeperTV Год назад

Hey Charles, I was thinking about doing it. The problem is I already have 185 000 km on the Jeep, mostly highway, and I don’t know if changing it now might do more harm than good. I’ll have to do more research. Cheers

does the eazy oil drain have a safety cap that screws on to prevents leakage

@CheaperJeeperTV 2 года назад

Hey Henry, Yes it does. I have it. For the record, in the 100,000 miles of having it, there is NEVER an extra drop that comes out of the EZ Drain. That cap is always bone dry when I remove it to do an oil change. I hope that helps. Cheers.

Hey Brandon, The new steering box is black and it's made of steel and has steel bolts. The original is not black, and is made of aluminum. If your steering is vague, and if your steering box is aluminum, tell the dealer your steering is vague and that the steering box needs to be replaced, as per TSB. If you still have warranty, it will be done free. I hope that helps. Cheers.

@leos5648 Год назад

Fantastic fuel mileage (29 mpg at 65mph on the highway in stock form) along with outstanding performance and acceleration! Downside: FCA watched several other OEMs (Toyota, Lexus, BMW, etc.) fail by trying direct injected-only engines that were plagued with carbon build-up on the back of the intake valves. Despite that, they went ahead and made their own engine just like the others. I fully expect I will be needing to clean the backs of the intake valves later down the road. Until then I will enjoy the up-sides.
